No need to introduce Sound Pellegrino the label run by Teki Latex and Dj Orgasmic… They team up with ScionA/V to share an exclusive compilation for free! It contains exclusive tracks from Gucci Vump, Bambounou (new Young Gunz signature), Para One, Bart B More & Harvard Bass,… Nothing but big names, expect some bangers in there.

I grew up listening to a lot of obnoxious music (rap, punk, and rave tapes, mostly). But on Sunday nights I always listened to the Hearts of Space show on public radio. When I was younger, I listened in bed, on my headphones, but once I was driving age, I would listen in the car, driving the hour and a half back to Natchez after debaucherous weekends in Jackson, the closest “city” where anything was going on. The host would play an hour of what he called “experimental electronic compositions of a contemplative nature” but it was really just highbrow chillout music. I can’t really say why, but for my White Light mix I was pulled back to that place. Maybe it’s from listening to Untrue so many times.

With a few exceptions, this is all music from the last couple of years, and most of it has plenty of bass. I mixed more by feeling rather than by tempo, on the breakdowns, so each song sort of melts into the next, which was definitely the style on Hearts of Space. I did a lot of digging around to find all this music, so I’m leaving out the artist names, in the hopes that if you hear something you like, you’ll do the same. But I do want to plug the last song, “Madre No Llores,” which is by Munchi, coming out on T&A in the Fall.

Moombahton is invading the whole blogosphere since a few weeks, making this summer hotter than ever. One of the dj’s responsible for this heatwave is David Heartbreak from the US. That guy is droping moombathon edits and refixes every week…

Here are some of his best ones:

You remember the Witch Doctor from Armand Van Helden?

And to conclude this post grab the brand new ep for free (click on the picture)

Alors On Danse by our Belgian pride Stromae his hitting the first place of many charts across Europe (N°1 in Germany, Swiss, Italy, France, Greece, Netherlands and of course Belgium). It even got to Brazil where the baile funk legend: DJ Edgar made his own baile funk remix. You can download it below:

We head over Peru for this MM#14. The Silky Boys bring the heat with a massive cumbia, reggaeton and MOOMBAHTON mix.

For those who don’t know yet what Moombahton is, it is quite simple: take a dutch house classic like an Afrojack tune or something like Riverside and you slow it down to around 100bpm and it becomes an infectious reggaeton tune. Dave Nada is known to be the inventor of this style…
